The Fall, The Rise are a Birmingham, UK based band comprising Martin (vocals), Simon(guitar), Christopher (bass) and Steven (drums). Following the dissolution of their previous band Martin Hurley, Simon Gough and Steven Holmes-being first and foremost long term friends-decided to continue making the music they wanted to hear and formed The Fall, The Rise in late 2004. After losing their bass player they were fortunate enough to find Christopher Schaunig, who shared their love of both heavy and melodic music and the line up you see today was complete.
